Monthly results Month: October Trades: 20 Wins: 5 Losses: 15 Monthly Total: +$30.20 Yearly Total: +$310.30 Month feeling: Strange month, its been difficult, not many good multi day runners, markets been very choppy and ended the month with major tickers like intel losing like a penny stock, so just to grind a profit out I am happy, I did have my first full week off from day job in over 7 years this month, so that meant 7 days trading were missed this month, but from what I heard when I came back in, it was a poor week anyways. What Worked: FGDB there was a couple that worked and a couple I simply missed, because of gap up and not getting the plan right, I restrained from chasing, which would of worked, but I don’t want a habit of chasing misses, so need to work on getting my plans better. What failed. SGD worg failed, this month, stupidly I did virtually the same trade on the same ticker 3x on the same day and lost 3x and had a wider risk on another, now the pattern wasn’t great this month, but these 4 trades made it worse, so will still keep with it. Best Trade: This was easily $SDEV for FGDB #5 the plan worked great, entry was brilliant, sold in 5 parts all higher each time and at good levels for 27% win. Worst Trade: This was easily MOBX SGD worg, first time I have ever given a SGD worg this much wiggle room and ended up losing 12% this is too much for this pattern, I could of easily just lost 2-3% on this, worst thing is it went even lower to then come all the way back and work, I felt this was the only trade in a long while, that my head had someone elses opinion in it about where the stock could go and why it was doing what it was doing, which led me to believe that I needed a bigger sl, now this was all me so I am not passing on the blame, bit I learnt I don’t feel comfortable with a large stop loss I am finding, so this although the worst trade of the month, learnt me a lot about my self. What work have I done this month: apart from the holiday week, watched every Bohen pmp, webby, video lesson, replayed the webbys I missed when on hols and video lessons, still reading every week and still listening to B the trader podcast every day too and from work, I am journalling everyday as well, but I have now moved this all over to digital, I am also running a few different scans now, which allows me to track the patterns I am learning, as well as keep certain types of tickers, which may have fallen through the net, I am analysing my years data more often too and seeing what’s working and not, so much help this can be in the long run, data is so valuable if used correctly. What have I learnt: I done like wide stop losses, makes me not want to enter the ticker again, where’s as a few % loss and I would easily re enter if I thought it was setting up. I still struggle to enter a stock that is above the entry I like because of a gap up, my re done plan I either don’t execute or its plain wrong, so I have learnt I need to work on this and fix this this issue as its costing me entry on some great trades and tbh as been an issue all year, so its an ongoing problem. What do I need to work hard on: I am tracking a lot more on tickers not in my immediate watch list, to try and help me see what is working in the market, so I will continue to analysis this, FGDB pattern I really like and like learning more about it, but I really need to learn to execute a new plan if it gaps up. Also the 3DS has gone quiet, so I need to learn to put patterns to one side when not working. Overall Feeling on the month: Its been a bloodbath for some traders this month, although I had my blood in the game, I still managed a small green month and more experience to the brain, so happy really considering limited opportunity’s Goal for next month: Basically keep doing what I am doing, keep learning more about the FGDB, SGD worg and 3DS (if any happen) but also learn better ways to analyse the market ticker data I am collecting, as well as my own data and number one on the list is how to enter on a gap up.
